Here's the deal, georgewest:

If the economy remains sound and in expansion mode, if unemployment remains at full employment levels, if the collapse of ISIS gets more media attention, if an infrastructure bill gets passed....I think he stands a very good chance of being reelected.

Incumbency tends to be an advantage.

I think if enough actual american factors like the economy remain positive, he has a very good chance of winning again.

There would be no good reason to vote him out besides dislike of tweeting.

I understand your logic, Hail.

But, as our economy has improved over the year, Trump's approval rating has declined. He is personally disliked by many, many people who view him as an undisciplined buffoon since he has been in office. When he speaks, he sounds like someone who has no clue what he is doing. Outside of his hardcore base, he inspires no confidence at all.

And, the Mueller investigation continues and there has been no good news for our President in that.

Another wildcard is Korea. Presidents have been kicking that can down the road all these years for a reason. Whenever it blows up, it will be a shitshow at best, and the president, whoever he is at the time, will get the blame.
